Salmonella can cause life-threatening infections in
people in poor health or with weakened immune systems.

Call a doctor right away if you get any of the above
symptoms after eating Peter Pan or Great Value brand peanut butter with the 2111
product code.

Doctors should report any illnesses to state or local health authorities.

The FDA warning is based on a CDC study linking 288 cases of food poisoning
in 39 states to different types of Peter Pan peanut butter. The FDA says it
learned of the study Feb. 13.

This salmonella outbreak is considered to be ongoing.

ConAgra will stop making food products at its Sylvester plant until FDA
investigators determine the exact cause of the contamination.

"Although none of our extensive product tests have indicated the presence of
salmonella, we are taking this precautionary measure because consumer health and
safety is our top priority," ConAgra spokesman Chris Kircher says, in a news
release.

"We are working closely with the FDA to better understand its concerns, and
we will take whatever additional measures are needed to ensure the safety,
quality, and wholesomeness of our products," Kircher notes.

The FDA will issue updates as more information becomes available.

Consumers who have questions should contact ConAgra's toll-free hotline at
